15. The problem with Biden is that he wants to be liked BY ALL, that includes republicans

He talks about Moscow-Mitch as if they are best friends, he calls him "Mitch", and he thinks he can negotiate with republicans, which is false, he was not able to do it when he was VP, so he is soft on them as if to guard a friendship that doesn't exist.

Sanders on the other hand has no issue charging against them, he just goes at it, and the creature, if he dares to debate Sanders, which I doubt because the creature is a coward and I don't think his campaign handlers will allow him to, will clean the floor with the creature. The creature has not had anyone to fight with the aggressiveness that Sanders brings to the table.

You are correct, Bernie is very sharp, he has demonstrated it in the debates, no other candidate has had to face so much aggression against him and come out the winner. Yes, Warren did very well as well, and that is why at this time I am leaning for a Sanders/Warren ticket.

I believe that Warren would pave the way for a future woman president if she becomes the VP, she will have Pence for dinner at the debates as well. One more thing...Although Sanders and Warren have had their short boxing matches during the debates, their agendas as very similar, and I believe they can work very well together, both are very smart.

This is an interesting article from The Guardian about Biden's electivility:
